Aim
The course is primarily aimed at training participants to understand the fundamentals of planning and controlling a work-based PRINCE2® project. The course is unique in that it also allows project teams to fully develop their work-based PRINCE2® project whilst they are learning the project management skills.
The Workshop
The workshop focuses on the development of the key elements of a PRINCE2® project plan.Participants form small groups (usually their team from the workplace) and nominate a project to plan during the workshop.Key PRINCE2® planning templates are explained and groups practice their compilation with their nominated project.The workshop is therefore a great opportunity for project teams to ‘start-up’ a project whilst learning the techniques and gaining expert facilitation for their outline project plan.
Who should attend
Organisations looking primarily to plan a key project as part of the workshop should carefully consider the attendees.Traditionally workshops have consisted of the hierarchy of an organisation .Whilst this is important, representation from all parts and all levels of the organisation is important if a thorough PRINCE2® ‘change’ project is to be developed.
